NOW-Through The Miracle of Long Play Records
c.^pie*' FRENCH or SPANISH
LANGUAGE COURSE
Shshed from to mi
ALSO: ITALIAN or GERMAN if you prefer
Thanks to the miracle of
C^^^^t^rr^ long-playing records, you
Q^^^ '1 can now Icarn to speak
^ I",:/ I French or Spanish from
N A I I V F instructors,
quickly — at home, and in
your Sparc time — and not
• for the $29.95 this Course
has always cost, but for
only $9.95 — a savings to you of exactly
$20.00. Or if you prefer, you may learn
Italian or German for the same low price.
Why is this remarkable saving possible? Be-
cause now the "LIVING LANGUAGE"
Course, originally in French and Spanish,
consisting of 40 lessons which formerly
occupied 20 standard-size 78 RPM rec-
ords has been reproduced on only 4 long-
playing 33'/i RPM records! This is the
identical course for which thousands have
long paid $29.95! Not a word has been
changed — not a syllable left outl But be-
cause of the miracle of long-playing rec-
ords we can now offer it to you at a ^
reduction — only $9.95. and on a no-risk,
free-Irial basis!
No Rules! No Schooltl
Just R«lax and Ustan!
Whether you're planning to lake a trip
abroad, or whether you want to be able
to speak a second language for greater
cultural and business rewards, you'll find
that there's no better, easier and faster
■way than the "LIVING LANGUAGE"
method! You learn to speak naturally —
NOT by rote or exercise — but just as you
would if you were living in a foreign land.
You do NOT go 10 school, or wade
through dull grammars, or memorize
formal rules. You simply turn on a rec-
ord, relax in your easy chair at home, and
listen lo the recorded voices of many peo-
ple — men and women — conversing in
their native tongue! You hear words,
names, phrases, sentences — all spoken
clearly and distinctly, in faultless accents
by expert instructors. And as you listen,
you look at the Conversation Manual we
provide you, to see the words you hear!
You gel the double impact of both seeing
and hearing.
In a few days, you under-
stand important key
words- — ;i few more days
and common-use phrases
come naturally to you.
The language actually j
GROWS on you! And
soon you find that you
could step off a plane or
boat and inquire about
many things you want tti — fluently, and
with a "native'" accent, loo! You can ask
directions, go lo stores and buy things . . .
and. best of all, converse with the people
almost as if you were one of them your-
self! And because you now have the
basics of a second language, you can as-
pire to higher positions in business and
industry.
And all this for just $9.95 — and for about
15 minutes of your time a day!
Why You Learn So Quickly
This "Living Longuogo" Way!
The reason this "Living Language Course"
teaches you lo speak a foreign language
so quickly and so effectively is that you
learn naturally — the way a child first
learns to speak English, or the way you
would learn a foreign tongue if you lived
abroad. You associate the foreign words
you see and hear with their English equiv-
alents — and in practically no time at all
you find you're able to speak yourself!
The best proof of the extraordinary effec-
tiveness of this "Living Language" method
is the experience of the U. S. Government
itself. In World War II the Army had to
teach over a hundred thousand soldiers
to speak and understand foreign lan-
guages in a hurry. There was no time for
3- or 4-year high-school and college
courses. Men had to be trained in a mat-
ter of weeks or months.
The best language experts in the country
were put lo work on this problem. They
experimented for months. And the
method ihey finally devised is the basis
of the method used by the "Living
Language" Course. In fact, the very
same man who was head of the U. S. War
Department Language Section which de-
veloped the Army language courses — Mr
Ralph R. Wciman— is ihc man who tlcvcl-
oped the "Living Language" Course. This
is why you can be sure, when you take
the "Living Language" Course, that you
are receiving one of the best methods of
speedy lan^uase instruction ever devised!

Competition gives us better values
-we got a good buy on our TV set!"
Inquiring Reporter: What do you folks think of the pro-
posals in Congress that would ^rive regulated
forms of transportation more freedom to price
their services in competition with each other —
and with unregulated trucks and barges, too?
Husband: Well, we've just bought a new TV set at a
very good price — with every stoi-e in town com-
peting to give us the best value. Competition
always gives us more for our money.
Wife: Isn't there competitive pricing in transporta-
tion, too?
Inquiring Re|>orter: Not always. Present government
regulations frequently require regulated carriers,
such as all railroads and some trucks, to make
freight rates higher than would otherwise be
necessary — just to protect competing forms of
transportation.
Husband: I read about that. Didn't a Cabinet Com-
mittee appointed by the President recommend a
change?
Inquiring Reporter: Yes. The Committee says that if
each form of transportation were given the right
to make rates related to its own costs and needs,
everybody would benefit — including consumers
like yourselves.
Wife: I should think so. After all, freight charges ar»
part of the cost of everything we buy.
Husband: Like our new TV set, for example. Yes
indeed, you can say we favor competitive freight
rates !

SPECIAL ISSUE: CHRISTIANITY
Sirs:
With many other Christian.s I want to express my
deep appreciation for the timely emphasis pivcn in the
last issue of Lifk to Christianity- This symbolizes to
ourselves and to the world in a pronounced way (hat
Chri»>tianity is an integral part of our national life.
What we need now on the part of all of us is to have
more emphasis on actually livinp the Christian life so
that our deeds will be consistent with the beautiful
works of art and writing in your special issue.

Sirs:
Since I made a recent visit to the Church of the Na-
tivity in Bethlehem, I question your statement that the
hole in the slur in ihe grotto at that church permits the
pilgrim to kiss the original floor of the grotto ("Holy
Days in Holy Land"). I remember the hole was filled
with an oil which one might absorb in a smalt piece of
rollon and lake with him.

Sirs:
Those learned and ermine-clad prelates of modern
Christianity, those richly decorated crosses, altars and
gold-plated palaces of worship are very impressive. Man
and his complex, mvslcrious dogmas have come a long
way from the simple and humble life and teachings of
Jesus. Man has come so far in fact that I won<ler if
Christ has not also been lo&l by the wayside.

Sirs:
1 have just returned from our midnight service at
Bethany Congregational Christian (Church, Lvnn. Mass.
In the Christmas Kve meditation I urged all ntemhers
of the congregation to read and study the Christianity

took a copy of Life into the pulpit.

Sirs:
I felt as if I had been gypped. 1 buy Life for a good

Sirs:
I wept without shame when I saw the glory and
majesty of your Christianity issue. It marks our na-
tion as pre-eminently a Christian nation and it is the
greatest halleluiah shout modern juurnalisni has ever
given to the Lord Cod of Heaven as revealed in Jesus
Christ. On behalf of our eight and one half million
Southern Baptists who were moved ami who fail to
speak their appreciation, I say thank you, thank you.
Rev. Albert Mc(xellan
Southern Baptist Convention
Nashville, Tenn.
Your special issue on Christianity is something that
every church should have on hand in quantity. Read-
ing it, one has the feeling of having studied a great and
Iwautiful mosaic of many kinds and colors of stone,
yet forming one picture. One appreciates more than
ever the strange paradox of the unity and diversity of
the church universal.
Ernest O. iNorqi ist
Pastor

Sirs:
Your special issue gives the Christian of today as
fine a concept of what (Christianity is as I have seen
anvwhere. You have also done a real service in break-
ing down difTerences that hold Christians apart. So
many of us see oidy in part. To see what our fellow
Cbri'^tians are attempting to <lo as contained in their
history cerlainly makes for greater understanding.

Sirs:
To me it seemed that parts written concerning Cath-
olics were written by avid foes of Catholicism and sec-
tions concerning Protestantism by thoi^e who had no
use for it. Why picture Protestants as a group of peo-
ple who are obscure and indefinite on the matter of re-
ligious authority when a large share of Protestantism
today still accepts the Bible literally as Cod's Word?

Sirs:
The beautiful Christianity issue is priceless. I should
like to keep it. However, when my family has read it, I
plan to mail il to Holland. Can you in some way urge

of Life? Perhaps such food for the soul packages might
convince people abroad that .\mericans truly want

THE LIFE OF CHRIST
Sirs:
Allow a mild prnlest. The haplism ()f Jesus was an
immertiion as shown on the roxcr ol the Sepleinlrtr

sht>wn in Kranre«icuV painting ("The Lil'e of (Jirist").
After the baptism Jesus "weni up straifihtway out of
the water" (Malt. 3:16). Also this haptism was not an
"ancient Hebrew ritual" but it wAs new with John the
Baptist (Matt. 21:25-27). The Hebrews had many cere-
niotiial washings but not baptism.

A special word of appreciation to Paul Hutchinson

*THE LORD IS THEIR SPONSOR'
Sirs:
That utterly simple story of the adopted Korean chil-
dren in the renter of all the pomp and self-ad ulal ion is
devastating (" 'The I^rd Is Their Sponsor' "). Surely
that Oregon couple is expressing a day by day, year
by year faith and love which make all the rest shrink

AMERICAN MORAL CONSENSUS

Your editorial ''American Mora! (Consensu-" was

Sirs:
Benjamin Kranklin was a wi>e man. and when he
moved the floundering Crnistilutional (Convention to
prav he was, as always, advancing the cau>e of the na-
tion he loved. But to portray Franklin a^ a deeply reli-
gious man is to distort the spirit of this great pagan
skeptic, as his biographer Cart Van Doren calls him.
Take for example the advice of Kratiklin to Tom Paine:
"You yourself may fnid it easy to live a virtuous life,
without the assistance a/forded by religion. . . . But
think how great a portion of mankind consists of weak
and ignorant men and women who have need of the
motives of religion to re.'itrain theni from vice, to sup-
port their virtue. ... If men are so wicked nifh
religion, what would they be if nithout it?"

Coldene
catches
your cold
in any of its 5 stages
MOST POWERFUL COLD MEDICINE YOU CAN
BUY WITHOUT A DOCTOR'S PRESCRIPTION
The common cold is not a single, simple ailment. It is a disorder
which attacks various parts of your system, bringing a variety of
miseries to different parts of your body as it develops and spreads.
Coldene is unlike any nationally-advertised cold-and-cough remedy
ever offered over druggists' counters. That's because it contains
Codeine ... all in proper balance with other important ingredients.
Doctors have prescribed the ingredient Codeine for years because
of its ability to provide long-lasting relief from coughs due to colds.
They know it acts like a local anesthetic to quiet your cough reflex.
Versatile Codeine is a nerve-relaxant, an analgesic and pain killer.
But powerful new Coldene is more than Codeine. The pictures
show not only five stages of the common cold, but also how the many
effective ingredients in Coldene attack miseries whatever the stage.
Such ingredients on the label as Codeine, Ephedrine, Ammonium
chloride and the antihistamine (Methapyrilene fumarate) tell you why
Coldene is so powerful! Most powerful cold remedy you can buy
without a doctor's prescription.
1
SNEEZING, SNIFFLES
AND STUFFY NOSE
■Coldene contains one of
the most-effective antihistamines,
Methapyrilene furaarate.
(Antihistamines are known to be
exceptionally successful in at-
tacking colds caused by allergies.)
It is also helpful in relieving sneez-
ing and stuffiness brought on by other
types of colds. Coldene also uses Ephed-
rine to reduce swollen nasal membranes.
It relieves stuffed-up feeling, allows
natural breathing.
Coldene catches your cold!
2
SORE THROAT
Here Codeine in Coldene brings
long-lasting relief from irritated
membranes and tickling sensa-
tions. Many remedies do not
provide sustained relief
from these miseries. In addi-
tion, a demulcent syrup
soothes the raw surfaces of
your throat. At the second
stage,
Coldene catches your cold!
3
CONSTANT
COUGHING
caused by a sore or tickling
throat. Codeine in Coldene
blocks irritation of the nerves
which produce coughing. And
because it eases swallowing and
reduces the tickling sensation,
it helps bring relief. At stage 3,
Coldene catches your cold!
TIGHT CHEST
occurs when irritated and
inflamed bronchial mem-
branes produce phlegm. At
this stage, Coldene uses the
expectorant. Ammonium
chloride, to thin down and
loosen the phlegm. Again —
Coldene catches your cold!
0
MUSCULAR ACHES
beside their annoying pain,
help create restlessness,
increase nervous tension, retard
slumber. Codeine in Coldene
is noted for helping to produce
sustained relief from these tor-
ments. Helps provide the rest
needed for normal recovery.
Coldene catches your cold!
Vbu can attack it at
any sta ge with
Coldene

ability to prevent cavities was first
noted in a tiny Texas town where there
was almost no tooth decay. Why? Na-
ture had blessed the water with fluoride.
Startling reductions in decay were also
made when dentists applied fluoride
directly to children's teeth.
Today, for the first time, everyone
can have fluoride's amazing benefits!
For, at last science has captured fluo-
ride's magic in a wonderful new tooth
paste now on sale everywhere! It is
called "Super" Amm-i-dent with Fluo-
ride. With it, every adult and child six
or over can conquer decay!
New "Super" Amm-i-dent with Fluo-
ride works its magic all day long-by
strengthening permanent teeth, inside
and out. It makes enamel so much
stronger, more resistant to decay, that
cavities couldn't even get started in case
after case tested by dentists!

IN THE KELLYS' LIVING ROOM GRACE'S MOTHER EXAMINES DAUGHTER'S DIAMOND AND RUSY ENGAGEMENT RING AS PRINCE AND FATHER KELLY PROUDLY LOOK ON
A MOST ELIGIBLE PRINCE, A REIGNING MOVIE QUEEN
A ROMANCE THAT'S GOT EVERYTHING
The newly engaged couple sat in her parents' Philadelphia home last week,
shyly pleased. Looking at them, the world could hardly help heing pleased,
too, for their romance held all the wonderful, improbahle elements which
people like to imagine can come true.
There was the lonely prince and his loyal subjects, worried over their fu-
ture. The lovely maiden, w hose plain-speaking father had started out as a brick-
layer, came from a distant land. The pair's chance meeting look place in
springtime in a Grauslarkian realm set by a fabled sea. \ shrewd but jovial
padre was on the scene t() help true love along. And in the happy ending
the maiden from thegreat democracy gave promise of saving the independence
of the ancient slate.
Grace Kelly, a movie actress of breathtaking beauty, intelligence and class
with a capital K, is one of the world's most sought-after women. Prince
Kainier III. ruler of the liny principalitv of Monaco, is one of the world's
most eligible bachelors. They met last spring at a film festival on the Riviera
and he gravely showed her through his palace [pp. 22, 23). .\lthough both
moved in the publicity-ridden purlieus of international society, their court-
ship had a refreshingly reticent and old-fashioned quality.
Arriving in the U.S. last month for what he insisted was an "educa-
tional" visit, the prince sought out Grace's father to ask her hand in mar-
riage. "I told the prince," said John Kelly, "that we're not impressed by
royalty. We're impressed by the man. Marriage is not a game of musical
chairs with us. We play for keeps." Then, assured that the prince agreed,
he gave his thoughtful consent and Miss Kelly agreed to become a princess.

national expanse of some 370 acres, less than half the size of New-
York City's llential Park.
Despite the size of his realm. Prince Rainier enjoys a generous share
of the world's good fortune: a 2(X)-room palace staffed with 1(K) servants,

the casino of Monte (]ar!o. Vet for years he has hcen known — more truly
than in any romantic fairv lale — as a restive and ilisconlented prince.
From his earliest years loneliness has shadoAsed Prince Hainier's life.
His mother. Princess (Charlotte, through whom he inherited the throne,
and his lather. Prince Pierre, (jount of Polignac, had little interest in
him or even in each other. They spent little time together and were
llnally divorced in 1933. Rainier grew up in the casual care ol his grand-
father, Louis 11. Louis, like many exhihits in the family's 660-year his-
tory, was a spectacular rake who had far gayer things to do than look
after children.
Rainier's advisers were, with rare e.\c<'ption, either aged relics Ironi
the entourage of Louis or glib and calculating youths who shared the
prince's school days, encouraged his idler amusements and boasted that
thev would rule Monaco for themselves when he took the throne.
From such a voulh Rainier emerged surprisingly as a responsible ruler.
Succeeding to the throne in 1919 after Louis' death, he expanded Mon-
aco's schools, encouragetl low-cosl housing anil made a serious effort to
balance his governmcnl budget. With a nice blend of dignity and warmth,
he has pleased his people with such gestures as his annual (^hristmas
party where every child is invited to the palace lo be enchanted by
the Santa C.laus prince ilistrihuling bicycles and fabulous dolls to all.
Yet all has been far from happy in either the palace or the realm of
Monaco. And for the simplest of reasons: the prince was w ithout a bride.
I'he lack, which mallered a good deal to the prince, mattered no less to
Monaco's citizens. By firm treaty with France it is fi.xed that, if there be
no Grimaldi heir to the throne, Monaco shall lose its independence and
become a protectorate under a French resident-general. This would bring
taxes and military conscription to a country which now has neither.
Il is scarcely a dilhcull mailer for a well-to-rlo prince to arrange a
marriage, but Rainier was nol willing to pick out a wife by going over the
list ol tilleil lamilies in the Almnitttch ilv Gnthtt. Publicly he pleaded
with his subjec ts lo be patient about his marriage, gently reminding them
that the mailer had also "a human aspect,"
For several years there was ample reas<)n to believe that the prince had
discovered the requisite human aspect in the French actress Gisele
Pascal, The romance was one of apparently deep attachment on both
sides but was ended by a spry, puckish, 67-ycar-old American priest,
l ather Fraiujis Tucker. Father Tucker, an energetic man who was sent
In Monaco by the Vatican to tone up the country's lackadaisical religious
air, became the prince's personal chaplain and most trusted friend. He
convinced Gisele and Rainier that they should part, for it was his stern
conviction thai their disparate backgrounds and temperaments would
make their marriage a nearly hopeless gamble. Gisele swiftly switched
escorts from Rainier in Monaco to Gary Cooper in Cannes, leading sus-
ceptible French observers to the conclusion that the .American priest
had somclhing to do with introducing her to the American actor. The
separation left Rainier once again a lonely man.
A prince, however, is seldom at a loss for amusements. Rainier never
tires of his yacht, which last year bore him on a two-month cruise to
French West Africa, lie went spear-fishing in shark-infested waters, took
underwater photographs beneath a raging Atlantic storm and returived
bearing chimpanzees, birds and gazelles for his private zoo.

crocodiles, an elephant and a lion. The prince visits ihem daily and,
when they are sick, controls them more easily than their trainer. His
Serene Highness explains, "I have always preferred them to human
beings. They are much more faithful. Also, they do not talk."
He has remade his palace to suit his tastes. Immediately hcyond the
red-and-white striped sentry boxes and the guards that look like gay
lead soldiers, he has built a complete modern garage to house his racing
cars. He knows their engines professionally and delights in working over
them till midnight. Facing the garage is his other haven, the carpentry
shop. Here he works in metal or wood for hours, more often than not,
under Father Tucker's pervading influence, fashioning a religious object
for his chapel.
His combined bar-and-clubroom in the palace is a handsome collection
of the obvious paraphernalia of a wealthy bachelor: boat models, billiard
tabic, an electric grill where he cooks his own popcorn and bacon and
eggs, a slick copper bar where he likes to mix his own drinks, a wall
gaily plastered with nude calendars.
This is perfectly attuned to the spirit of many of the prince's aides —
the ones who would prefer him in the role of manageable playboy-prince,
the ones who laughed uproariously two years ago when Father Tucker
began murmuring about the prince making a pilgrimage to Lourdes. They
bet that ihcir chum would do no such faritaslic ihing.
They lost that bet, and they may well have lost their man altogether.
Today the prince's office is a handsome, serious study, the walls lined
with oak bookcases. The great oak desk, big as a judge's bench, is severely
designed and severely worked at. Prince Rainier has struck a reasonable
balance between pleasure and duty. .
To the people of Monaco it was apparent that their lonely prince was
solving many of his important personal, political and religious problems
— but not the main one. That single personal-political-religious night-
mare has kept prince and people alike from enjoying any genuitie peace
of mind. This week the problem appeared to be solved.
RAINIER'S PALACE is a 20U-room castli- pcrclifj on a rocky hill ovcrliiokiiig
the Mediterranean. Prince has redesigned five rooms as his special apartment.

A RABBLE ROUSER'S BIO FOR POWER
A new figure, Pierre Poujade the tax hater, is a big gainer as France votes itself into an impasse
by JOHN THORNE
Pabis
L\ST week 21.7 million Frenchmen cast
llicir ballots in an election which the West
Icrveiilly hoped would finally produce a hasis
for slalJle government in France, instead, dis-
content and frustration produced possibly the
most irresponsible election result in French
history. The moderates lost ground, the Com-
munists gained and the long-standing parlia-
mentary impasse in France was intensified to
the point of caricature w hen a new right-wing
group vaulted into prominence under a bizarre
man named Poujade, w ho sometimes sounded
and looked almost as ridiculous as ,\dolf Hitler
in the 1920s.
Pierre Poujade himself was not running for
anything, but his spectacular personal cam-
paigning elected o2 complete unknowns to the
National Assembly — altogether almost 10% of
the total. These strangers to politics include
pork butchers, pastry cooks, grocers, mechan-
ics and a carnival merchant. Each has taken a
solemn oath to obey Poujadist party discipline:
". ... If I betray this oath I agree to submit
my moral and physical person to the chastise-
ments reserved for traitors." To remind them
of this vow the party printed little lamppost
stickers for their .Assembly benches. And what
if they go astray? "There are still plenty of
lampposts on the Place de la Concorde," said
Pierre Poujade last week.
Whether these blood-curdling words were
mere bombast or were uttered in earnest is
something the French themselves have yet to
learn. It is still a moot point whether the aims
of Pierre Poujade — a stocky, dark-eyed, black-
haired man from the windy hills of south-
western France — are dangerously violent. But
his quick wit, gay smile and stinging ridicule
of the National Assembly have made him Pied
Piper to millions of Frenchmen who smart
under taxes (which Poujade says he will im-
prove), who disapprove of the goverimient
(which he says he will clean out), or who feel
dissatisfied w ith the postw ar progress of France
(which he says very little about).
Pierre Poujade was born in St. Cere 35 years
ago. He quit Catholic school at 16 and w orked
as apprentice typographer, grape picker and
docker. In 1942 he escaped Nazi-occupied
France, only to be interned in Spain. Six
months later he made his way to North Africa.
Here he was hospitalized for prison injuries,
met and married his hospital nurse, Yvette,
and joined the R..A.F.
Something of a local hero after the war, he
returned to St. Cere where he now lives with
Yvette and their four children. He ran a book
and stationery store. Like all small French
businessmen he considered himself the victim
and enemy of the government and tax collec-
tors ("I cheat on taxes myself; how else could
I make out?"). And one day when a local black-
smith, a casual acquaintance who happened to
be a Communist, came to him for help on a tax
problem, he leaped to his defense and glibly
argued the tax collector to defeat.
Soon neighbors were coming to Poujade in
groups for tax advice. The groups multiplied
and then combined under the title of UDCA
(Union of Defense of Shopkeepers and Arti-
sans). Before long it was a rare tax inspector
who did not have some sort of trouble with
UOC.A partisans barring the way when he tried
to inspect a small businessman's books. The
thing just snowballed. By October 19.54 the
Ministry of Finance told the government, "Be-
cause of the UDCA w e are no longer masters of
the situation south of the Loire." Last March,
as deputies met to approve a government tax
proposal — forced by Poujade — he stood up in
the gallery to remove his coat. The Assembly
president, fearing a riot, nervously sounded
the alarm to clear the house.
For two and a half years Poujade has been
on the road, whooping up the citizens. He and
his wife arrive in their muddy black Citroen
and go directly to a smoky brasserie to meet
the local Poujade committeemen. They tell him
their tax problems and Poujade explains what
other communities have done. It is then time
for lunch. Over coffee Poujade blows up a
paper bag and pops it on his fist. "Poof! If I
did that in the National Assembly they'd all
be under their seats."
A big outdoor meeting follows. Poujade tells
the audience he has been accused of calling the
National .Assembly a manure pile. He says he
never called it that, but maybe it is not a bad
description. He says certain assemblymen are
"guilty of treason." He calls them les pourris
(the rotten ones). "Our fathers were at Ver-
dun and Mendes-France was not."
Often he takes off his coal and shirt in what
is now called his "strip tease." He describes
the near-riot in the Assembly. Poujade only
went there to see the funny people. Poujade
was hot. Poujade took off his coat. The depu-
ties were scared to death. The crowd roars.
Poujade now spends considerable time in a
suburban Paris villa, where he sees visitor^
in his pajamas and Yvette serves them pastis,
a violent yellowish liquor. If someone wants
water, it is poured from a pig-shaped jug re-
ferred to as "Mendes." There is plenty of
money — the movement claims a million mem-
bers and dues are 1,000 francs ($2.50) a year.
But there is one thing lacking — a realistic
program. Poujade based his entire rjtn|iaif;n
against existing tax laws and government. Now
he has nothing more specific to offer than a
vague plan to reconvene the "states general,"
a huge mass meeting of 1789 revolutionary
vintage. North Africa? "A human problem."
Communism? "Either the Communist party is
an agent of a foreign power and should be dis-
solved, or it is not a foreign agent and some-
thing must be done against the misery that
engenders Communism." Is he a Fascist? Pou-
jade says he wants to put new blood into re-
publican institutions. "You wouldn't have to
blow very hard right now to overturn them."
The Poujadists clearly have little respect for
parliamentary democracy although their rrn ce-
ment so far lacks the militarism and mysticism
which characterized Fascism in the 1930s.
His very lack of a program was what hclpiMl '
win Poujade so many votes. His appeal to the
discontented reflected the feelings of niillion-
of Frenchmen who have been disappointed in
their governments. As Poujade himself put it,
"If we had been courageously governed the
movement would never have developed."

EXTREMISTS OF THE LEFT: the Communists want to

MODERATES OF THE RIGHT: this includes the Radicals
(lra<litiiinal middle class party) who follow Edgar Faure; the
Indepeiiilciils who represent farming and business and are led
by Antoine I'inay; and the Popular Republicans of Bidault and
Schunian. «l\o stand for progressive Catholicism. Total mod-
cial.' lifilili-l^: about 212, down 50.
MODERATES OF THE LEFT: a combination of the Radi-
cals wlui follinv Mendes-Franee, the 94 Socialists and a few
others. Total moderate leftists: about 1.50, down 10. (.Ml fig-
ures are approximate because over 30 seats remain unfilled and
S(.tme deputies allegiances are undetermined.)
BLEAK TRUTH AND CONSEQUENCES
In giving the extremisls stunning power in the new National Assembly,
Fram e (iw ncd up to a long-ignored truth: well over a third of her people
are fed up with republican government. The truth bad been obscure be-
cause the moderates so rigged the rules of the previous election that the
extremists got far lewer seats than their vote indicated. This time the
fight between Fdgar Faure and Pierre Mendes-Franee to control the Radi-
cal party split the moderate camp so that it could not exploit the still-
rigged rules. Although their popular vote hardly changed, the extremists
this time got roughly the number of seats they deserved.
The immediate consequences of the election were bleak. Faure was
chastened by the setback tf> the moderates and offered Mendes a truce.
But Meniles promplly turned it down and kept his followers allied with
the Socialists. I'his seemed to give the Socialists, who have long been
unuilling to join a government which they cannot lead, a chance to name
the next premier. Hut such a government would have to operate with-
out a basic majoritv. It would be a strictly day-to-day affair, and its pros-
pects appeared glummer even than those of its 21 postwar predecessors.

STATE OF THE UNION: BETTER
WALK, DO NOT RUN
"The Ford [stock] offering," a Wall Street
broker predicts, "may ring up the curtain OH
an era of mass middle-class investuig. ...
Common stocks may yet take their place aloil|^
side the family car, dccp-freeze and Bendix.'"
We hope this prophecy comes true. We have
repeatedly argued that the more Americans
becnsM partial owners of their industries, the
doaer oar economy will be to an industrial
democracy.
If that can be Inrmight about. Ford provides
the fitting way to start it As mudi as any
enterprise, it gave that economy its modem
shape — cheap mass transportation, assembly
line, nlas^ production, high wages, small profit
on big volume. As a $2.5 bilHon giant grown
out of Henry Ford's shoestring of $28,000, it
is also an ideal symbol of how an investor's
dollar can grow.
Undoubtedly thousands of new investors
are being created by this, the biggest stock
distribution in history. We think these small
investors who are placing a flood of orders are
wise to get all the Fdrd slock they can and
that if they keep it dvi t the years it will re-
ward them with good returns and growth.
However, a few words of warning are in
order. The demand for this stock is so huge
that it cannot be met even by the 10.2 million
shares l}eiiig issued. Consequently, once the
Stock is traded, the rush to buy it in the open
market could drive the price sky-higli - and if
thousands bought it at unsound levels, they
could burn their fingers badly. What the pub-
lic needs lo keep in iiiiml i~ lhat the stock is
being .sold at just alxiut what it is worth in
relation to its earnings. The estimated price
of 70 would he just about nine times the in-
dicated 1933 earnings of S7.7.3 a share, or just
in between \n here smaller (.^hrvster ami hi;^^er
GM are selling. That is just about the order
which pr(^bably is jusliliej by past hi.-torv and
future potentials. If the pulilii- I'uthusiasm
should drive Ford stock higher than GM's
price-eai'nings ratio, the rules o! logic are
that sooner or later the price will be driven
back down to a realistic range. Our advice,
then, is lo buy all the Ford stock vou can
get, and can afford, at the issue price, but
il yuu can't get any, wait until its trading
settles down. That way, you can become a
capitalist — without regrets.
Nor yet grown stiffer with command
But still in the Republick's hand:
How fit he is to sway
That can so well obey.
Marveix
President Eisenhower has now delivered his
fourth annual message no the State of the
Unicm. If you look back over them, each
message since 1951 echoes or even repeats
the proposals and policies of its predecessor,
but the state of llie Union he reports gets
better every year.
The real purport of last wedc's message
accordingly lies not just in its bearing on
1956, but in the perspective of three ftdl
Eisenhower years.
If "our se<;urity posture commands re-
spect ... at shar|>lv reduced cost." it is
because ot relornis begun in 19.5.3. Hie free-
ing and reilireclioii of the economy similarly
began then, as did extensions of social secu-
rity and civil rights. The President's latest
proposals would require at least 46 added
pieces of legislation, some new, many left
over from previous requests, but none of
them unprecedented or unexpected.
At the same time he was able to report
more peace (absence of shooting) than the
world has known since the mid- lO.'-iOs, and
more [)rospcritv than anv nation ever knew
in anv age. Peace .idiI pi i i~peritv : these arc
powerful claims and slogans for an election
year. Accordingly the ncmocTats. led by Sen-
ator Lyndon Johnson, lost no time in de-
nouncing the State of the Union message
as political.
Any speech made by an ofRceholder in
1956 is necessarily somewhat political. The
national problem will be to confine partisan
statements on both sides to issues of real
importance to the nation. Senator Johnson
and llinise Leader MrCormack dcncninced
this speech for overoptiniisrn about the for-
eign situation. This line of partisan attack,
first patented by .Averell Harriman, is likelier
to serve the national interest than any other
the Democrats could adopt.
•
The case gainst Republican complaoenoe
toward the G>mmuni8t threat is not an open
and shut one. As the article on page 70 msikes
clear, Dulles and Eisenhower have pretty
well known what they were doing. If Ike's
new nu.'ssage souiuls nostalgic hu' the spirit
of Geneva, he refu.ses to ciuinlciiance such
"vast wrongs" as the division oi Germany
and "the bondage of millions elsewhere."
In any case the Democrats will do us all a
service by concentrating their vigilance and
their needling on any signs of softness or
omission in our foreign policy. For the Com-
munist threat to the free world is certainly
greater than many Republicans realize: great-
er than any announced administration plans
to cope with it, and greater than the popular
mood, amid all this peace and prosperity, is
likely to want to be toM. It needs to be told,
by Democratic and Rqtublican leaders alike.
As for the Eisenhower domestic program,
one can argue many details, but this last
message shows how completely it has man-
aged to bestride the main road. After three
years ol quiet but steady development, the
famed middle way " or "<lvnamic conserva-
tism" has left little room for opposition
traffic either to right or left. Of all major in-
terest groups only the farmer has a real
beef, and he is therefore the ilarling of both
parties. Other Democratic charges, such as
RqiuUican favoritism to big business, could
be answered if anyone could hear them in
the roar of the boom.
This roar not only drowns criticism. It
also obscures, by causing to he taken for
gratitcd. the full scope of the Republicans'
three-year domestic achievement.
Eisenhower aiul his team have a coherent
economic philosophy, and they have been at
great pains to put it into effect. Its ingre-
dients are the integrity of the dollar, the
efficacy of free markets and inrivate initia-
tive, and the use of imliTect rather than
direct governmental controls. By quiet but
conrerli'il action the Republicans have em-
ployed this philosophy to stop a 15-year in-
flation that had almost become endemic in
our system; to regain control id the federal
budget and maneuycr it toward the balance
which Ike can now promise for 1956 and
1957; to spot in advance the recession of
1954 and hold it within tolerable limits;
and to lay the base for, without yet losing
control of, this unparalleled boom. They
have secured for us three major economic
blessings which had previously seemed polit-
ically incompatible: rising wages, lower taxes
and stable prices, all at the same time. Presi-
dential Assistant Gabriel Hauge. one of the
architects of this economic [iliilosophy. calls
it: "the way to a welfare society without the
regimentation of a welfare state."
"Dynamic conservatism" is more than an
economic policy. As Hauge put it. it takes
the long view; it insists "that change be
progress, that there be continuity and'steadi-
ness on the course." The prime demoit of
continuity between the Eisenhower adminis-
tration and the American past — and there-
fore, we may hope, with the American future
— is the principle of limited government, the
essence of our constitutii>nal svstem. .'\s the
final dralt of his message was heading toward
the mimeograph last fortnight. Ike himself
wrote in this new senttMice: " This record (d
progress has been accomplished with a self-
imposed caution against unnecessary and
unwise interference in the private affairs of
our people, of their cMumunities and of the
several states." To have strengthened this
prini'iple of limitation in a time of grave
peril, and made it an instrument oCdonUBtlC
prosperity and good feeling, is the heart of
the Eisenhower accomplishment.

HEART CASE
Johnson looks fit in his old job
Pronounced fit by his doctors, Senator Lyndon
Johnson, who last summer had been brushed
by death, was back on the job in Washington.
With the reconvening of the 81th Congress in
a presidential election year, the Texas senator
faced an arduous task in his role of Senate
majority leader: to push legislation on such
major issues as farm policy, foreign aid, edu-
cation and highways, and insure that all the
achievements have the Democratic stamp.
Six months ago, bone-weary from overwork.
Senator Johnson was stricken with a heart at-
tack similar to that suffered last September by
President Eisenhower. Now fully rested, Sen-
ator Johnson has been cleared to take on his
many duties in the Senate but must observe a
carefully regulated schedule of work and rest.
GREETING A RIVAL, Johnson talks with Minor-
ity Leader KnowlanJ at banquet both addressed.
-TAKING COMMAND, Johnson calls fellow senator
to a meeting on the day of Slate of Union message.

Southwest
A BLENDING OF OLD CULTURES
HAS SHAPED ITS UNIQUE STYLE
Photographed for LIFE by ELIOT ELISOFON
CLIFF HOUSE, ancestor iif puehlo, was built
ot adobe about 1100 A.U. in natural cave near Flaj;-
stair, Ariz. It bas live stories, txMised ,>0 Indians.
The first architects in what is now the U.S. were the puehlo-ilwelling
Indians of the Southwest. They were building multifamily apartment
houses more than 800 years ago, and when the first Spanish colonists
arrived in 1598 they found the Indians living in permanent towns and
possessed of an advanced culture. Unlike the English then settling the
Atlantic Coast — Santa Fe was founded in 1609, two years after Jamestow n
— the Spaniards did not destroy the Indian way of life. Instead they
adopted it, using their own tools and techniques to create a blend of
Indian and Spanish that became the unique style of the Southwest.
The blend produced a striking and timeless design in architecture, as
valid today as it was a millennium ago. The Spaniards took over the In-
dians' favorite material, adobe, which is mud mixed from the clay-and-
gypsum desert soil and hardened by the desert sun. The Indians piled
up layers of adobe by hand to make their homes, and then they piled
their homes in layers (belou) to make a pueblo, or town. The Spaniards
improved the method, mixing adobe with straw and liking it in portable
bricks. On their cattle ranches they built low, wide, adobe houses which
developed into the contemporary U.S. ranch house style.
The old Spanish Southwest was a va.st area including present New Mex-
ico and .'\rizona, plus parts of Utah, Colorado and Texas. California was a
separate and later part of the Spanish empire. There the local Indians had
no building tradition and the Franciscan padres followed the ornate reli-
gious architecture of Spain and Mexico. This style, executed in adobe
and other native materials, flowered fully at San Juan (^apislrano {oppo-
site page), one of the 21 California missions. The open-air patio around
which the mission buildings were grouped was adopted in many parts
of the U.S. It is especially useful in the arid Southwest, providing airy
coolness by day and radiating stored sunlight from its paving at night.

UiiarmcJ and often on foot, aeross liuiiclreds of miles of dangerous desert,
came the hardy Spaiiisli friars who won the Southwest for Christianity.
In New Mexico, where Indian arcliitecturc was well established, and where
a local priest was oulnunil)ere<l by his congregation by as much as 1,00()
to one, the Spanish < liun h builders followed the low and massive puehlo
style, enlarging; it a little to aeeoniniodate s([uare hell towers (filiove).
Inside, the .New Mexico churches were often lavishly decorated by Indi-
an artists who combined religious themes of the Renaissance with age-old
Indian symbols and exuberant Indiati colors which had been developed ii>
their ancient ceremonial paintings. Tliese native American folk artists
were known as sunliriis, or makers of saints, and their great masterpiece is
the sanctuary of San Jose (right). The sdiitrros also carved and sold many
small images, or siiiilos, which are now eagerly sought by collectors. From
tin cans discarded by American soldiers in the l8 K)s and ".SOs, the ingen-
ious New Mexican craftsmen fashioned dainty wall shrines to hidd their
family saints, like the one which hangs in the dining room at far right.

The Spaniards bruuglit llic firsl hi)rsrs to America and on their
ranches in nld Vlexiid lhe\ devehipeil the roomy Western sloek

The saddle's basic ilcsigri changed in many practical ways as it
moved north into tin' U.S. The old (lalilornia sadille shown second
from lell. lop. lor instance, still has the inmhila. a separate leather
cover that lilted over the saddle tree. This Spanish survival was too
cumliei'some for ihi' U.S. open range, so it was replaced by a short
leather skirl seweil under the saddle {iijipi r ri^lil). A distinct Amer-
ican improvement was the swelled fork saddle show ii directly hclov\-,
which is tradilional in its lavish decoralion but modern in its
workmanlike design. Heri' the oval swelling just under the horn

Handmade tools
and trappings of the
cattle kingdom
All of the gadgets in the picture above were used by Texas cowboys in
their daily work of tending tattle, the great economic product of the
American Southwest. Here tliey arc displayed against an expanse of the
Texas Paiihandh' plains, a region so dry and desolate that it was not con-
quered until tile IHiiOs liy the tough Texas longhorn steer.
Many of these objects were made by the cowboy himself to suit his
personal needs and iileaa of decoration. They are museum pieces today
because their funi tinnal design illustrates the use they were put to. The
silver-mounted linmc-bustcr's belt which hangs on the fence, at left of
the longhorn skull, was made by a cowboy on the Texas Matador Ranch.
It supported his back and abdomen while be was breaking a Iractious
!
Iiorse. To the right of the skull is more of the cinvhoy's leather armor —
a pair of straight "shotgun" chaps which prolecteJ his legs from tlioriiy
hrush or cactus. Next arc some wider and fancier "hat-wing" chaps
which appeared in Texas in the 1890s and are still widely used. Cowhoys
like them hecause they snap on, and can be removed without pulling off
spurs. Next to the chaps is a hand-plailcd leather fjuirt. Attached to tlic
gatepost is a saddle holster with a Winchester Model 73 rifle, used to
exterminate coyotes. On the gate arc a silver-decorated leather bridle
and {right) an older bridle of hand-w oven horsehair.
On the ground, at left rear, are a cowboy's Stetson hat with four-inch
brim, a pair of leather gauntlets and an array of historic branding irons.
The corkscrew objects at far left and front right are picket pins, which
were screwed into the earth to tether a horse. The s[)urs at front left in-
clude handmade and shopmade varieties with round and star-shaped
rowels. The rowels with long spikes were called "Chihuahua rowels" in
Texas, where the shorter, less punishing spikes were preferred.
In the center are American types of stirrups and bits, grouped around
an ivory-handled Colt revolver. The very heavy bit at far front was called
a "jawbreaker," and was only used on a dangerous horse. At far right is a
wire cutter, and behind it strands of barbed «ire, an American invention
wlii< h was patented in 1874 by Joseph Gliddcn of Illinois. Behind the
w ire are a hull w hip and lariats of plaited rawhide (right) and horsehair.

The early missions were roofed with lule

From the rancho,
a contemporary style
After the Mexieaii revolution of 1821 tlie great laiiJ ami cattle lioMiii^^
of the (.aliforiiia inissiuiis were broken up In the fjovernini-nt. anil pri-
vate ranehers moved in. The houses which they built retained the mis-
sion patio anil cormlor as basic features. But beeause the ranehers lived
outdoor lives and felt no need for cnmpliealed architecture, their houses
took on the linv. horizontal shape that was typical of the New Mexican
adobe. The ranch house patio became a garden and courtvard. around
which the wings of the house were grouped. The cormlor liecame a lung
veranda, with graceful wood posts and railings instead of thick pillars
and arches. Cliairs and benches were set along it to make a shady resting
place for the ranch ow ner and the vaqueros — his cowboys.
Because of its great versatility, the (California ranch house style has
lately become a universal favorite with U.S. home designers. Its clean,
functional lines can l>e expanded almost indefinitely without damaging
its proportions, and this is especially true in the wide-open Southwest.
No one knows who cut the lust "picture window ' in a ranch bouse. But
the use of large glass areas was a natural develo|)menl where sunlight is
often the main source of beat, and where beautiful gardens and patios
deserve to be seen. In the modern ranch house at riglit lielow, wide win-
dows and a magniricent mountain setting have been combined with tra-
ditional design to make an inviting sample of Southwest living today.

Mission in the home
The sturdy "rnission" furiiituro \vhirh storked thousands of U.S.
parlors at the turn of the century was inspired in part hy the design
and materials- usually fumed or natural oak — of Spanish mission
furniture in the Southwest. The mission style as it appeared in eastern
homes was developed liy Gustave Stickley. a Syracuse. N.Y. craftsman
and editor w ho helieved that I .S. family life should he simple, durahle
and devoid of needless luxury. He tried to make his furniture patterns
reflect those wholesome virtues. Stiekley's designs herame a national
craze under the sponsorship of Elhert Huhhard. a supersalesman of
culture and soap— he invented the coupon system. At the famous
Roycrofters shops in East .\urora. N.Y.. Huhhard's employes turned
out handmade mission tahles, sofas and henehes which still give solid
service after many decades of wear.
.\n especially popular mission piece was the Morris chair named
after the English poet arifl han<licraft teacher, William Morris. Morris
chairs had adjustahle hacks, upholstery pads which were easy to re-
move and clean, and thick, four square arms and legs {iilmvc). Mission
parlor tahles often had built-in hookshelves at each end and mission
sofas were sometimes made with magazine racks attached. In such
designs and in tlieir clean rectangular lines mission pieces clearly
foreshadowed the functional "modern" furniture of the present day.

PORTRAIT, IT IS CLAIMED, PROVES MARLOWE WAS
The picture al lop right was fuund in 1953 at Cam-
bridge, England. The one at top left appears in the
first (1623) folio of Shakespeare's plays and is iden-
tified as the author of the plays. Because an Ameri-
can critic thinks they show the same man — but not
Shakespeare — the tomb of an English noble will
soon be disturbed.
Calvin Hoffman, who is raising the fuss, thinks
both portraits show Christopher Marlowe, Elizabe-
than poet. On the recently found picture were two
numbers, 1.585 and 21. In 158.5 .Marlowe was 21 and
at Cambridge. Therefore, says Huffman, this is Mar-
lowe. Details of the two faces in enlargements above
are to him identical. So. he says, both are Marlowe.
Shakespeare scholars place no more credence in
this theory than in the far-fetched theories that
Bacon or Raleigh wrote Shakespeare s plays. Shake-
speare was also 21 in 1585 and the folio portrait was
ordered by some of Shakespeare's acting troupe. But
Hoffman thinks he has other evidence {itf.xt ptige).

But the great new hope for Hoffman lies in
jMI the tomb of Sir Thomas Walsingham, Mar-
CALVIN HOFFMAN lowe's friend. Though scholars believe IVlar-
lowe died in a tavern brawl at the age of 29,
Hoffman says Walsingham had a substitute killed instead. Why? Be-
cause Marlowe's opinions were considered atheistic and he was in
danger of execution. To save him Walsingham hid Marlowe, who spent
the rest of liis life writing Shakespeare's plays. In the tomb where
Walsingham was buried 325 years ago Hoffman hopes to find manu-
scripts in Marlowe's hand. If he doesn't it will not change his mind.
ANCIENT TO.MB of Walsingham will be opened under the watchful eye of
an architect to prevent damape. Two fsont panels will probably be removed.
Hoffman can .search the tomb but probably cannot open the cofBn inside.

Former President Harry S. Truman is not a man who invites
apathy or indifTcicnec. This fact was made doubly clear to I ifk's
editors last fall when they serialized Volume I of the Truman
Mciiuiirs. Your response to those five instalments was resound-
ing — and about as dispassionate as the bleacher comments at a
Giant-Dodger double-header. Some subscribers scolded Life for
printing what they considered a partisan view of history. Others
praised the editors for presenting "a document, rich in material
for historians and for all who lived through the crises and trials
Mr. Truman describes."
Press reaction to the former President's personal story in Liff,
was instant and widespread. In more than ."^.000 news stories the
wire services, radio, television and political reporters across the
nation seized upon each Truman instalment in Liit as an oppor-
tunity to applaud, contest or condemn the man who had borne
the burden of the presidency for nearly eight of the most crucial
scars of our country's history.
Amid the bouquets and brickbats there was unanimity on tine
score: the undisputed importance of the Menufh-s. For as .Mr.
Truman puts it himself, "No one who has not had the responsi-
bility can really understand what it is like to be President, not
even his closest aides or members of his immediate family."
Reading Mr. Truman's Memoirs in Life you come as close to
y S. Truman
understanding the presidency as you ever will . . . barring, of |
course, your own election to that office.
Next sveek Life resumes publication of these important and
revealing writings. In Hve weekly instalments Life will present
Volume II of the Memoirs. Here Mr. Trtmian will recount the |
torrential events of his administration from 1945 to 1952. the
tempo of which moved Mr. Truman to remark, **l discovered
that being a President is like riding a tiger, A man has to keep |
on riding or be swallowed,"
In next week's chapter the former President will describe Gen-
eral George C, Marshall's celebrated mission to China out of I
which grew the Trutnan administration's controversial China
policy. Mr. Truman's own story of Marshall's fateful attempt to |
promote order in chaotic China sheds new light on the forma- |
tive stage of a policy which is still hotly debated today.
In succeeding instalments .Mr. Truman tells his story of the I
194S campaign, the Korean war, the recall of (ieneral MacArthur,
the 1952 campaign and his relations with President Lisenhower.
.As w ith Life's previous publication of the Memoirs, this second
volume will be specially illustrated with brilliant color photo-
graphs to add understanding and dimension to the events and
circumstances of history Mr, Truman will discuss.

HOW DULLES AVERTED
AT 2 a.m. on June 18. 1953, Secretary of
State John Foster Dulles was awakened
bv the ringinj; of liie telephone in the bed-
room of his home in Washington. It was the
officer of the ilop watch at the State De-
partment with an urgent radio message from
Korea. President i^vngman Rhee had ordered
his troops guarding the prisoners of war com-
pounds to release all captured North Kore-
ans and Red Chinese. The handful of Amer-
ican officers and noncoms at the camps were
powerle-ss to prevent the action and the pris-
oners were streaming away from the com-
pounds bv the thousands.
Dulles listened quietly, grunting an oc-
casional "Yow" to acknowledge. Then he
reached over to switch on the light. And
at that moment, as his fully aroused mind
shook off the fog of sleep, Dulles saw him-
self and the nation standing on the brink of
a new war. It was the first of three times dur-
ing the Eisenhower administration when the
U.S. was brought perilously close to war —
and when the new policy of deterrence insti-
tuted by Dulles preserved peace.
Why Rhee's highhanded action threatened
war will be explained below. This, plus the
full story of our other close brushes with
war in the past three years, is revealed here
for the first time with new information pro-
vided by the Secretary and by the State De-
partment. In the conduct of his office, Dulles
not only radically revised the "containmonl"
policy of the Truman administratiim but also
altered drastically the basic concept of the
job of Secretary of State.
Dulles' direction of U.S. foreign affairs is
under attack these days as the presidential
election year gets under way. The new infor-
mation made available to this writer, how-
ever, bulwarks the substantial case to be
made for Dulles, a case that until now has
not been made as strongly as it could be-
cause important sections of the record could
not be made public.
Here is that record.
Tlie Eisenhower administration's foreign
policy began to take shape aboard the cruiser
Helena as the President-elect returned to
the U.S. after having made his promised
visit to Korea. W ith those cabinet officers
whom he had already selected, Eisenhower
held daily conferences to consider what
should be done nlimit the stalemated war.
Dulles led most of these discussions. In
the singular lifehmg preparation for the job
he was about tn undertake, he had prob-
ably devoted more thought to the subject
of war and peace than any other man alive.
He believed that lie had isolated one of the
major underlvini; causes of war: in a word,
miscalculation.
All the great wars of modern history,
Dulles is conviiirril. were started by na-
tional leaders who thought thev could get
away with it. When they found out that they
could not, it was too late. The Korean war,
Dulles argued, had been caused by Moscow's
mistaken belief that the U.S. would be un-
willing to fight til stop armed aggression
against South Korea. As much as Dulles
admired his iircdecessor Dean Acheson's
courageous reaciiini to the aggression, he
felt that Acheson had made a tragic mistake
in suggesting, just six months before the

Three times, new disclosures show,
he brought U.S. back from the brink
by JAMES SHEPLEY
Chief, TlM&Lll-'t: Washington Bureau
Communists attackeil, that South Korea was
outside the U.S.'s "vital perimeter" area.
As Uullcs presented these conclusions in
the meetinijs aboard the Helena, Eisenhower
listened thoughtfully. (At times he listened
a little impatiently too. More accustomed to
the quick, crisp manner of a military hrief-
ing officer than to the thoughtful pauses of
Dulles, Eisenhower was once heard to ex-
claim, "Why doesn't he speak up faster and
sav what he has on his mind:'" When Dul-
les had finished, the newly elected President
made his first vital decision. He would make
every effort lo bring an honorable truce out
of the negotiations then in progress. But if
the Communists tried to continue keeping
the U.N. command and the U.S. bogged
down in stalemate, the I .S. would this time
fight to win.
This would mean carrying the air attack
into Manchuria, where the Chinese army and
air force bases had been protected by the Tru-
man administration's decision not to cross
the Yalu River, even by air. Furthermore,
in order to save lives in the U.N. command.
Eisenhower decided on the tactical use of
atomic arms should hostilities be renewed.
Our allies in the U.N. command would
he informed of these decisions when and if
the lime came to implement them, hut mi-aii-
wliile it was urgent to make sure that the
Reds would not again act out of miscalcula-
tion, ("haracteristicallv, Dulles undertook
personally to see that this was done. .Setting
out to make his first goodwill visits as the
new U.S. Secretary of State, he called u|)on
India's neutralist prime minister, Jawaharlal
Nehru. Dulles had confidence in Nehru's
genuine interest in peace and, more impor-
tant, in his ability to communicate speedily
with Peking.
Dulles told Nehru that the U.S. desired
to end the fighting in Korea honorably. He
also said that if the war continued, the U.,S.
would lift the self-imposed restrictions on
its actions and hold back no effort or weapon
to win.
Within two weeks after his trip to New
Delhi, Dulles received word f rom Korea that
the Reds appeared to have begun to negotiate
seriously. The negotiations were not pro-
ceeding smoothly, hut Ihev were proceeding.
The major disagreement concerned the pris-
oners of war.
More than 22,000 North Korean and Chi-
nese prisoners of the U.N. command had
said they would refuse to go hack home.
The Reds insisted they must he returned.
It was an unprecedented wartime situation
but one in which it was never in doubt where
justice stood. Dulles had made it clear that
the U.S. was standing firm on a principle of
justice and that no prisoner would be re-
turned against his will.
So it was necessary lor the Communists
to retreat on this i.ssue if a resumption of
war was to he avoided and it was necessary to
allow the Communists to retreat without
losing face, if possible. It was while the ne-
gotiators were searching for a back wav out
of this dangerous impasse that Svngman
Rhee slammed the door in their faces bv re-
leasing the prisoners. Ear from wanting to
end the war, Rhee wanted to renew it. His
goal was to reunify all Korea. The release

of the prisoners, he hoped, would lorce the
Communists to break off negotiations and
the war would be resumed.
This was the situation in which Dulles
found himself when the State Department
watch officer telephoned the news.
Dulles picked up the direct phone to the
White House and asked the switchboard
operator to awaken the President. He told
Eisenhower of Rhee's action and briefly stat-
ed the implications. Dulles found the Presi-
dent calm and ready. The Helena decision
was reaffirmed. The Manchurian targets had
already been carefully selected so as to limit
them to areas of clear military importance.
But the North Koreans and the Red Chi-
nese did not walk out of the conference.
They continued to negotiate, thus accepting
a propaganda defeat by acknowledging that
almost half of their captured soldiers did
not want to return. They did so, Dulles be-
lieves, because they had had unmistakable
warning that further delays would no longer
be met with U..S. indecisiveness.
Thirty-nine days later the truce was
signed.
The second time that the U.S. was brought
to the brink of war came in April of 1954.
The French situation in Indochina had be-
come desperate. The French pleaded lor
American intervention in the form of a car-
rier strike against the V'ietminh forces be-
sieging the fort of Dienbienphu. After care-
ful reflection and several National Security
Counc il meetings on the subject, Dulles con-
cluded that a carrier strike against Dien-
bienphu's attackers was a poor way for the
U.S. to get involved. Yet it was urgent that
the situation be salvaged. Otherwise, in a
kind of "domino effect," all southeast Asia
might get knocked over.
On April 4, Dulles went to the White
House with Admiral Arthur Radford, chair-
man of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to present
Eisenhower with a proposal for action. If
Britain would join the U.S., and France
would agree to stand firm, Dulles pointed
out, the three Western states could combine
72
with friendly .Asian nations to oppose the
Communist forces on the ground in Indo-
china just as the U.N. stepped in against
the North Korean aggression in 19.50. There
was, of course, the clear risk that Peking
would send its armies openly into Iniloehina
as it had done in Korea, staging them out
of bases in south China.
Dulles recommended that the dangers be
faced, and that if the Chinese Communists
intervened openly, their staging bases in
south China be destroyed by U.S. airpower.
President Eisenhower concurred. He cabled
Prime Minister Churchill and Foreign Sec-
retary Eden, asking them to discuss united
action in Indochina.
The British reply came and Dulles took
off for London on April 10. M the same time
two U.S. aircraft carriers, the Boxer and the
Philippine Sea, steamed toward the South
China Sea from the Philippines. On board
were their tactical air groups armed with
atomic weapons. It was a modern version of
the classic show of force, designed both to
deter any Red Chinese attack on Vietnam
and to provide weapons for instant retalia-
tion if it should prove necessary.
From London, Dulles went on to Paris,
and by the time he returned to Washington,
five davs later, the preliminaries had been
completed for a formal meeting of Britain,
Prance and those Asian states which would
jointly take up the battle in Indochina. The
meeting was scheduled for the Tuesday after
liaster. Dulles thought he had a specific
agreement to this effect from Churchill and
Eilen, as well as a reluctant agreement from
Bidault, who still clung to the hope that the
U.S. would intervene in Indochina alone,
which he preferred to the cumbersomeness
of combined international forces.
But all plans were suddenly arrested on
the afternoon of Easter Sunday, when it be-
came apparent that the British had had a
change of heart (Life, May .31, 19.54). The
British ambassador. Sir Roger Makins, called
the State Department to report that he had
new instructions from London directing him
not to attend the Tuesday meeting.
It was the first major frustration Dulles
had encounteri il as Secretary and for several
days he was at u loss to invent a substitute
for his plan. The situation became more and
more dangerous. (Friends who were close to
Dulles at the time observed that the nervous
blinking, which is the only outward evidence
of the severe strain under which he operates,
was noticeably intense.)
Meanwhile ilie Western powers faced a
conference with Russia and Red China on
Asian problems to be held at Geneva. Dulles
regarded this ruiiference with extreme mis-
givings. Mendcs-France evidently wanted to
dump the load of the Indochina war at any
cost. The llin at of a Communist takeover
throughout southeast Asia was grave.
But again the ])nlicy of boldness impressed
the Communists. Dulles had seen to it that
the Chinese and the Soviets knew that the
U.S. was prepared to act decisively to pre-
vent the fall of all of southeast Asia. It was
also clear to the Communists that the French
and British, if llirv were pushed too far,
would accept Dulles' suggestion for united
action. Thus, instead of negotiating from
the extreme and undisguised weakness of
the French position, Mendes-France and
Eden found thrinsi lves able to bargain from
Dulles' stri ii^'lh. It can be argued the Ge-
neva conference on Indochina represented
no victory for the West, but Dulles is con-
vinced that the solution finally agreed to was
acceptable because it eliminated the possi-
bility of a "doiiiiiiii effect" in .southeast Asia.
Half of Vietnam was lost to the Communists
but southern Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia
were saved.
The third lime Dulles faced war came in
those weeks in late 1954 and early 1955,
when menacing ( .ommunist maneuvers were
made against Qiiemoy and the Matsus — the
time now identifii il as the Formosan crisis.
Here war was ax oided mainly by a resolu-
tion drafted by Dulles and passed by an
overwhelming bipartisan vote in Congress
which authorized the President to use U.S.
military forces sliould the Chinese Com-
munists attack Formosa. Thus the Chinese
were publicly put on notice that Eisen-
hower was ready and authorized to retaliate

at once. (Dulles has never doubted, inciden-
lallv, that Eisenhower would have regarded
an attack on Quemoy and the Matsus as an
attack nn Formoiia.)
Later, during a visit Dulles made to Bur-
ma, that countrv's neutralist Prime Minister
U Nu worriedly told him that the Chinese
Communists meant business. Dulles replied
that the U.S. meant business too. His answer
almost ccrlainlv was passed on to Peking,
thus warning ttic Chinese a second time.
Dulles is the first to admit that wars which
do not happen must remain speculative wars
until, at least, someone privy to the deci-
sions of the olbi-r side writes his memoirs.
"Nobodv."' he concedes, "is able to |)rove
mathematicallv that it was the policy of de-
terrence wbich brought the Korean war to an
end and which kept the Chinese from send-
ing their Red armies into Indochina, or that
it has finallv stopped them in Formosa. I
think it is a prettv fair inference that it has."
Whether or not these inci-
dents constitute proof of the pre-
vention of war. they do provide
dramatic illustrations of the
new approach to foreign policy
instituted bv Dulles three years
ago this month.
When .lohn Foster Dulles
walked into the office of the Sec-
retary of .Stale freshlv vacated
by Dean Acheson in IW,'? he
made no change in the physical
arrangements except to hang the
pictures of two former .Secretar-
ies of direct interest to him.
These were Grandfather John
W. Dulles, who served under
President Harrison, and Uncle
Robert Lansing, who held office
under Wilson. What Dulles did
change was the basic concept of
the office.
President Truman's Secretar-
ies of .Stale worked cssenliallv
in the pattern of the adminis-
trative executive. Thev counted
time awav from Washington as
serious neglect of the Depart-
ment. Dulles took the opposite view. He
regarded too much time spent in Washing-
ton as neglect of the U.S. task of free world
leadership.
Reverting to an oMer tradition, he uniler-
took personal direction of the country's
foreign affairs, assigning himself the role of
No. 1 diplomat of the L1..S. The day-to-day
routine of departmental administration he
has delegated to his undersecretaries, hav-
ing been careful to select the best men he
could get for the job: first. Eisenhower's for-
mer Chief of Staff. General Walter Bedell
.Smith, who was succeeded by the present
undersecrctarv, Herbert Hoover Jr.
All of the major questions since Dulles
took office have either been handled person-
ally bv him or decided on the l)asis of knowl-
edge he had acquired on his worldwide trips.
In three years these trips have taken bim a
total of 226.64.5 miles to ,34 countries (map,
pp. 70. 71) : to some of them, like France and
England, he has traveled time and time again.
He has spent so much time in the air that he
was not surprised to hear about the observa-
tion of the 3-year-oId son of one of his travel-
ing security officers. Pointing a slubby finger
at the picture of a Constellation in a maga-
zine advertisement, the child told his father,
whom he had seen in and out of Washington
National .Airport on the Secretary's trips,
"This is where Mr. Dulles lives."
The business of the Secretary of Stale
cannot, of course, be confined to traveling
abroad on personal diplomatic missions. But
Dulles has found that his extensive travel-
ing has helped rather than hindered him in
the performance of bis other duties. He has
founil that lie can work more efficiently and
can concentrate for longer periods in the un-
disliirbed atmosphere of a long plane flight
than he can in Washington.
His trips are customarily arranged to begin
at the end of a day's business in the State
Department so that the night can be utilized
lor traveling. Once in the air, Dulles relaxes
completely. Frequently he changes into a
pair of slacks and sport shirt and indulges in
his hobby of poring over the aerial charts on
which the course has been marked bv his
pilot. (Dulles is an excellent sailor and navi-
gator.) He then calls on his traveling staff to

Aml>assador to Cainlxxtia Rot>ert McClintock, Dulles' secretary, Phyllis Bcrnau,

to be encountered at the destination. If he
is going to a NATO meeting he takes along
the Assistant Secretary for European Affairs,
Livingston Merchant. If he is going lo Japan
or Indochina, he is accompanied bv Assistant

ertson. Slate Department Counselor Doug-
las MacArthur II. Legal Adviser Herman
Phleger. Assistant Secretary for Public Af-
fairs Carl McCardle and his private secretary,
Phyllis Bernau, make up the permanent trav-
eling slalf.
When the briefing is out of the way Dulles
will linger over one. sometimes two. high-
balls of Pennsylvania rye. After a substan-
tial iii-llight meal. Dulles kibitzes briefly at
ibe bridge game which is usually underway
bv this lime, then retires to his berth with
his ever-present legal-size yellow writing pad
in hand. Before he goes to sleep he puts
down the thoughts generated bv the briefing.
At the morning conference, just before land-
ing, his staff will often be surprised to hear
him outline an entirely new approach to a
problem on which they had briefed him the
night before.
The cause for most of Dulles' flights dur-
ing the first few months of his secretaryship
was the desperately urgent need to plug the
many holes in the free world's line of defense
against Communism.
When Dulles took office Iran was in the
hands of a sobbing madman named Mossa-
degh who .seemed determined to destroy his
own nation and the delicate balance of world
pow er rather than yield an inch to the British
on the question of oil ownership. Italy and
Yugoslavia threatened war over title to the
Adriatic port of Trieste. Britain was evacuat-
ing its women and children from the Suez
t^nal Zone in preparation for war in Egypt.
I'he Korean war was in a hopeless stalemate
and the French were being driven inexorably
out of Indochina. France w as dragging its feet
on its own pro])osal lo integrate the military
lorces of Western Europe. Germany, un-
armed and restless, had no treaty alliances
with the West. The .\uslrians had almost
given up hope of a treaty of liberation from
World War II occupation. The so-called line
of containment wbich the Truman adminis-
tration had started to build in
Greece and Turkey was no line
in theory or in fact from Turkey
all the way lo the Philippines.
And the Communists even had a
foothold in the Western Hemi-
sphere, in Guatemala.
So effectively has Dulles now
[>higged the holes that freedom's
defense line has now been linked
up from Italy to Japan. Except
lor ligypt, India. Afghanistan,
Burma, Switzerland, Sweden and
Finland, which prefer varying
forms of neutrality in the strug-
gle between freedom and Soviet
tyranny, all of the major seg-
ments of the non-Communist
world are linked in mutually
supporting alliances. The prob-
lems of Iran, the Suez, Trieste
and Austria are behind us. Gua-
temala has a non-Communist
government. And. most impor-
tant. West Germany is rearming
as a member of NATO.
It was to achieve the indis-
pensable goal of rearming Ger-
many that Dulles made one of his most
criticized statements: his blunt warning that
the U.S. would be forced to make an "ago-
nizing reappraisal" of its foreign policy if
France continued to block the establishment
of the European Defense Community (EDO)
which was to include Germany. Although the
French rejected EDC. they shortly there-
after, with Dulles' warning in mind, signed
the Lon<lon-Paris Accords which opened the
way for (Germany to join NATO.
The two cardinal principles which Dulles
substituted for the containment doctrine of
bis predecessor are the 'long haul concept"
and "ileterrence." Dulles explained the long
haul concept on his first appearance before
the NATO foreign ministers on April 2.3,
19.5.3. He said, ". . . The Soviet menace . . .
is |one| which . . . may persist for a long
time, through periods of retreat as well as of
advance. . . . We must he prepared lo be
strong . . . lor an entire historical era."
The policy of deterrence is based on Dul-
les' belief that wars are caused bv miscalcu-
lation. His first public declaration on deter-
rence came in his speech to the Council on
Foreign Relations on .Ian. 12. 1954: "Local
defense." he said, "must be reinforced by
the further deterrent of massive retaliatory
power. A potential aggressor must know that
CONTINUED 77
DULLES CONTINUED
he cannot always prescribe battle conditions
that suit him. . . . The way to deter aggres-
sion is for the free community to be willing
and able to respond vigorously at places and
with means of its own choosing."
Dulles' ever-alert critics jumped on the
phrase "massive retaliation" as 1) too tough,
and 2) inelfectual. It implied, they argued,
that every time a squad of infantry crossed
a frontier somewhere, Dulles would drop
atomic bombs on Moscow. It was argued
that we would never do it, and because the
Communists knew we would not, it was
nothing more than a dangerous bluff.
Actually Dulles did not mean what some
critics have put in his mouth. In an article
written for the April 1954 issue of Fnrcifin
Affairs he explained that by "massive retalia-
tion" he was thinking not of an attack on
Moscow but of such retaliation as would
make a Communist military adventure of
any size unprofitable. He said in eflect that
it was his intention to make the
punishment fit the crime.
The best example of what he
meant is the retaliation planne<I.
if necessary, against the Chinese
Communists, either in connec-
tion with Korea or Indochina.
"They were specific targets rea-
sonably related to the area," he
recalls. "They did not involve
massive destruction of great pop-
ulation centers like Shanghai,
Peking or Canton. Retaliation
must be on a selective basis. The
important thing is that the ag-
gressor know in advance that he
is going to lose more than he
can win. He doesn't have to lose
much more. It just has to be
sumething more. If the equation
is such that the outcome is clear-
ly going to be against him, he
won't go in."
In those situations, all of them
peripheral, where the Commu-
nists have tried force — Korea,
Indochina, Formosa — the policy of deter-
rence has worked. Deterrence, as practiced
by Dulles, has not only prevented the "big"
hydrogen war but the littler wars as well.
Always, of course, there has been and con-
tinues to be risk. Says Dulles, "You have
to take chances for peace, just as you must
take chances in war. Some say that we were
brought to the verge of war. Of course we
were brought to the verge of war. The abihly
to get to the verge without getting into the
war is the necessary art. If you cannot mas-
ter it, you inevitably get into war. If you try
to run awav from it, if you are scared to go
to the brink, you are lost. We've had to look
it square in llie face — on the question of
enlarging the Korean war, on the question of
getting into the Indochina war. on the ques-
tion of Formosa. We walked to the brink
and we looked it in the face. We took strong
action.
"It took a lot more courage for the Presi-
dent than for me," Dulles adds. "His was
the ultimate decision. I did not have lo make
the decision myself, only to recommend it.
The President never flinched for a minute on
any of these situations. He came up taut."
Dulles was not even momentarily de-
ceived by the phony "New Look" unveiled
by the Soviets at the summit conference in
Geneva last summer. Before the conference he
wrote a memorandum on July 6, pointing
out that the Kremlin could hope for diplo-
matic gains at Geneva, including "an appear-
ance that the West concedes the Soviet a
moral and social equality. The Soviet will
probably make considerable gains in this re-
spect." But the President and Dulles agreed
that the importance of proving that the U.S.
would negotiate sincerely outweighed the
inherent risks.
Shortly after he returned from Geneva,
Dulles wTote a memorandum proposing a
postconference course for U.S. policy. "We
must assume," Dulles wrote, "that the So-
viet leaders consider their recent change of
policy to be an application of the classic
Communist maneuver known as 'zigzag,'
i.e., resort to 'tactics of retreat to buy off a
powerful enemy and gain a respite' (Stalin).
We must not be caught by such a maneuver.
"On the other hand, it is possible that
what the Soviet rulers design as a maneuver
may in fact assume the force of an irreversible
VISITING YUGOSLAVIA ilurinp respite from Geiifvu
rotary of State and Mrs. Dulles talk with Tito's wife (lefl) while
stands by. Dulles went to see Tito to get his views on conditions in
trend. Our own conduct should be to en-
courage that to happen, without at the same
time setting up, on our side, an irreversible
trend toward accommodation which would
expose us to grave danger if the Soviets
pursue covertly, or later resume overtly,
their aggressive design."
The correctness of this estimate — as well
as the foresight in accepting the Soviets'
glad-handing warily — was of course finally
confirmed two weeks ago when Khrushchev,
at a meeting of the Supreme Soviet, buried
the last remains of the "Geneva Spirit" in a
violent attack on the West, the U.S. and
Eisenhower personally.
Plenty of serious foreign policy problems
stUl lie ahead. The U.S., as Dulles readily
admits, has yet to find a solution to the
fundamental and complex problem of re-
orienting the economic patterns of the free
world, which have been so seriously dis-
rupted by the Iron Curtain.
There is a second basic foreign economic
problem in the expanded plans to dispose
of U.S. agricultural surpluses abroad. Pri-
vately the entire State Department chafes
at the efforts of another branch of the gov-
ernment, Ezra Benson's Agriculture Depart-
ment, to alleviate its surplus problems by
dumping abroad. By its cheap sales of rice
to Japan and other traditional markets of
the rice-producing countries of southeast
Asia, for example, the U.S. has driven rice-
producing neutrals like Burma and friends
like Thailand closer to the Communist orbit.
There is little question that the Eisen-
hower administration would strengthen the
free world position if it could come up with
some further imaginative approach to the
general objective of raising the living stand-
ards of mankind. It has not yet produced as
good a contribution as the Point Four pro-
gram of the Truman administration which it
has continued. The one Eisenhower pro-
posal which could have been, and could still
be, as worthwhile as Point Four — the atomic
energy proposals — has been allowed to lag.
A promising new approach to foreign aid
was referred lo in the President's Slate of
the Union speech last week. This would set
up a .?1 billion program to help underwrite
great engineering projects like E^pt's Aswan
Dam over the next 10 years. Spending will
be limited to $100 million a year, the plan
being to use this money to un-
derwrite the loan of much larger
sums from the World Bank.
There are political problems
of the cold war which transcend
the economic problems. At the
bead of the list Dulles would
place Germany. But on this sub-
ject he does not share the gloom
of those who argue that all Ger-
mans long so desperately for res-
toration of their national in-
tegrity that they will ultimately
trade away their freedom and
their alliance with the West in
order lo achieve a made-in-Mos-
cow brand of reunification. To
this Dulles answers that no na-
lion on earth has yet gone will-
ingly behind the Iron Curtain.
He does not fear the free exer-
cise of choice between East and
West for any people on earth
— and especially in Germany
where, as nowhere on earth, the
relative merits of the free and
Soviet socialist systems are in clear focus.
From the outset Dulles has steadfastly
insisted that the principle of justice is the
heart of U.S. policy. Not only must Soviet
Communism be prevented from enslaving
the remaining two thirds of mankind; it
eventually must relinquish its hold on the
satellite states it holds in tyranny.
Perhaps no position of Dulles' has been
more misrepresented than this one. It has
been charged that his "liberation" program
required militarv actions he knew to be im-
possible. Bui Dulles explained bis intent
clearly in an article written for Life in
May 19.52: "We do not want a series of
bloody uprisings and reprisals. There can
be peaceful separation from Moscow as Tito
showed, and enslavement can be made so
unprofitable that the master will let go his
grip. . . ." The important thing, he argued,
was that the U.S., the defender of freedom
on earth, "makes it publicly known that it
wants and expects liberation to occur."
Furthermore Dulles believes that the evo-
lutionary process he hopes for has already
begun. During a weekend off from the for-
eign ministers meeting last fall in Geneva,
he paid a visit to Yugoslavia's Marshal Tito.
He made the trip primarily to hear this one-
time satellite's analysis of conditions in
Eastern Europe. The interesting facts Tito
confided to him at this meeting cannot at

present be divulged. But Dulles came away convinced that the
yeast of freedom is working vigorously in the satellite countries.
"I don't mean to suggest." he sav>. "that there will he an early
breakaway of the satellites from Mn-cuw. But I think there will soon
be visible signs of an evolution towani governments which com-
mand more popular support than those which now exist, and
which are markedlv less the [laid liiri'liiii;s of Moscow."
How deeply the Kremlin fears ilcfectinn of its East European
satellites was made clear hv the So\ iet leaders in private confer-
ences at the Geneva summit confrri-iice. Coexistence, they hinted,
could he worked out if the U.S. would acquiesce to continued
Soviet domination of its satellites. Tlic President's reply came in a
speech on Aug. 24. Eagerness to :ivoid war, the President said,
could lead to acceptance by one nation of injustices perpetrated
by another. The U..S. would never iln this, he said. He added, "If
we accept ilcstruction i>f the principles of justice for all, we cannot
longer claim justice for ourselves. . . ."
The Kremlin's reaction was imlicated by Khrushchev's blus-
tering c(>m|)laint in his Supreme Soviet speech two weeks ago
against what he called the "crude interference" of Eisenhower in
sending Christmas greetings to the satellite peoples.
In Asia. Dulles has to worry aliout the continuing warlike
preparations of the Communists opposite the Formosa Strait and
the renewed shelling of Quemoy. I Ic is deeply concerned but he
has long since learned not to panic easily. "When I think of the
problems behind us," he explains, "1 am not too worried about
those ahead of us. New problems arc one mark of progress. If you
are not progressing you have the satnc problems."
Dulles has scheduled a call at Manila for a SEATO conference,
after which he will go on to Formosa. He plans other calls on the
leaders of free Asia. And on the wav home, westward around the
world, he will meet with other premier- and foreign ministers, thus
continuing the personal diplomacy »hich he has made so effective
in the past three years and which lias brought the U.S. a long way
from the negative theory of contaiimioiit.
Today the world, free and slave, knows not only where the U.S.
stands on the question of Communism but what the U.S. intends
to do about il. And they know becausr the U.S. Secretary of State
himself has told them, in the grfalest display of personal di-
plomacy since the great days of the Franklin-Adams-Jefferson tri-
umvirate in the Europe of the 1780s.
Dulles himself best described his kind of diplomacy when he
said to me, "What we need to do is recapture the kind of crusad-
ing spirit of the early days of the l!i |iublic when we were certain
that we had something heller than anyone else and we knew the
rest of the world needed it and wanloil it and that we were going to
carry it around the world. The missionaries, the doctors, the edu-
cators and the merchants carried the knowledge of the great
American experiment to all four corners of the globe."

For all their calrulatcd swagger and sureness,'
the cock\ Utile inrn wlin ride rare tiorses have
mdiiiciilury lapses. In the liurlv huilv of clang-
ing bells and staiii|)cding hoofs at the start of
a race their first instinct is to grab something —
usually a handful of the horse's mane — and
hang on. A fleeting pause like that is all that
an opportunist like Willie Hartaek needs. By
the time they get themselves tied on and
ready to ride Willie has already gotten the
jump on them {left).
If he doesn't outhreak them at the gate,
Willie generally outthinks or outrides them
along the wav. 1-ast year he r<»de 417 winners.
1 10 more than any other I'.S. jockey. Wherever
he appeared Willie caused flurries and fluctua-
tions. Hardened horse players, going with the
trend, throw away their form sheets and say
simply. Gimme two tickets on Hartack. ' His
presence in a race throws odds out of kilter. A
horse that figures to he 10 to 1 goes olTat half
that price when people riding Willii-'s coattails
gel through betting. "They'd bet." says one
trainer, "if he was riding Mrs. O'Leary 's cow."
The nation's top jockey conforms to few
accepted standards for his trade. At 2?i. Willie
has a choirboy's face and a trigger mind. Per-
sonable and enthusiastic, he walks without
strutting, talks without cussing ("Except to
myself"). He neither drinks, smokes nor bets
on horses. Other jockeys, who watch their
weight, envy l()2-pound Willie's tapeworm ap-
petite. "T eat what 1 want," he says, which is a
snac k between every race plus whopping meals
plus milkshakes.
L'nlike most riders who take no pains to
learn about a strange horse. Willie runs a test
on the wav to the post. In a warmup gallop he
discovers how his mount responds to the whip,
whether to take a good hold on the reins or
leave them loose, whether to pamper or man-
handle. "Horses don't run any better for me
than anvbodv <-lse." he says. ''1 just find out

Sudden money
and rich fun
Willie Hartack's life, though centered around
horses, does not begin and end with them. An
acquaintance says, "He's crazy over every-
thing. You mention it and he likes it." With
an income of about S130.000 a year he satisfies
a craving for water sports, owns a Jaguar and
talks of getting a helicopter.
A coal miner's son. Willie did not know a
race horse from a Shetland pony when he was
graduated from Blacklick Township (Pa.) High.
Since he was small and agile, a friend suggested
he become a jockey and took him to his first
race. It was run at (Charles Town. W. Va. after
a snowstorm. Five horses fell and two jockeys
were taken to the hospital. "Does this happen
all the lime?" lie asked his friend.
Reassured. Willie spent two strenuous years
exercising horses, and then in 19.52, half scared
to death, he rode his first race at Waterford
Park, W. Va. "It was like getting caught in a
thundering herd of elephants," he said after-
ward. "I forgot to pull mv goggles down . . .
all I could see was horses' behiiids." In his
second race he forgot to pull his goggles down
again. "I didn't know nothing from nothing,"
he admitted. But he had a plan. He would sim-
ply follow Sammy Palumbo, an old jockey who
knew his way around the track.
Once again he forgot about goggles and with
dirt flying and getting in his eyes he had trou-
ble keeping track of Sammy. Half blinded, he
fumbled with his goggles. When he looked up
again, his horse had run clean past Sammy into
the lead. "I just sat there and he won." In the
next 10 weeks he w on 3,5 more races. A year lat-
er, w ith money rolling in, he took his father out
of the mines and put him in charge of a 170-
acre farm he had bought near Charles Towa.

Tlie first lime Willie Hartack rode eight races
in the afttTiioon the ordeal exhausted hini.
Now it is routine. When his agent. Chick Lnng,
suggests that he ease off Willie retorts, "You
just keep putting me on those horses."
Haifa dozen fashionahle slahles want him as
their regular jockey. But Willie prefers to he
free to choose his mounts, and with his agent s
help he just ahout does. \l the hig tracks Jock-
ey f(?es are standard: $,'50 for first, for si'c-
ond, for third, $20 for out of the money,
plus a customary lionus for winning. Since
Willie has his pick of the hest mounts his
earning power is greatly enhanced.
Because Willie is kept so husy, as these pic-
ture? show, he has a highly efhcient routine.
Each race seems run in the pattern of the one
hefore. .\fter each finish he gives the judges
the same salute, clinihs the same stairs to the
jockeys' room, has the same five minutes to
change colors {opposite page) and makes the
same hurried descent to his next mount.

he reinemhers everything ahout each of the
1.702 races he rode last year. He supplements

makes notes on his comments.

Of all ihp monumental things about the production of War and

for her it is the first l)ig break so far in a film career that started
promisingly four years ago and got almost nowhere.

Feel 'guilty" about
your ap petite ?
Sugar can
help you
control it!
Your appetite is
directly related to your
body's need for energy
Sugar supplies energy
— satisfies appetite faster
than any other food
By helping to overcome
hunger that leads to over-
eating, sugar can save you
more calories than
artificial sweeteners do
"Scientific Nibbles"— a new way to more effective weight control
Weight control is a lot easier and more likely to
be permanent when your diet includes sugar.
You know from experience that when you have
a sweet just before a meal it's a lot easier to stay
satisfied on smaller portions— to turn down
second helpings.
New research at a leading university has found
a reason why sugar helps to keep your appetite
satisfied on less food — one that makes the "Scien-
tific Nibble" a key part of newer weight-control
diets.
Low blood sugar level — big appetite
The body's most basic need is for energy. Energy
to work, to play, to act ... to keep the heart
beating. This energy comes from sugar in the
blood stream, which in turn, comes from food.
The food that raises your blood sugar level the
fastest — supplies energy in its most quickly and
readily used form — is sugar itself.
This requirement for energy is so important,
and so constant, that nature warns your brain
and your body against shortage: you not only get
tired, you get hungry.
The practical appUcation of this new knowledge
to the problem of weight control has been to give
people a simple, natural way to curb their appe-
tites. A little snack before a meal raises your blood
sugar level, helps to keep you from getting "too
hungry to hold back" at mealtimes.
Quick way to curb hunger
A leading authority on nutrition calls these
hunger-pacifying snacks "Scientific Nibbles."
Your "Scientific Nibble" should be something
that you would ordinarily eat at a regular meal
—such as the grapefruit shown in the picture
above. Or, it could be a refreshing soft drink
containing sugar, a cookie, or simply a spoonful
of sugar in your coffee or tea. This same authority
suggests a piece of pie in the late afternoon in-
stead of dessert at the evening meal. Since arti-
ficial sweeteners, in pills or any other form, supply
no energy, and have no effect on the blood sugar
level, they cannot help you to overcome hunger.
Revive energy — spend your calories
By making it a part of your regular mid-morning
and mid-afternoon energy break, your "Scientific
Nibble" also relieves fatigue that slows you down
to "low gear." By helping to keep you operating
at peak efficiency, sugar helps you use up calories
instead of storing them up.
18 CALORIES
Surprise you that there are only 18 calories
in a level teaspoonful of sugar? {Some people
we asked guessed as high as 600.) You'll nor-
mally use up as many calories
as you can get in a teaspoon-
ful of sugar every 7H minutes!

HELEN HAVES TOSSES AN AFFECITONATK SAI.iriK TO THE 1.500 AI)^^l<Klts WHO I'AHl HER HOMAGE AS "FIRST LADY OF U.S. STAGE"
A GRAND NIGHT FOR HELEN
Supersliiny assemblage of stage notables celebrates Miss Hayes's 30 theater years
The peak of llie evening was a glorified vaudeville, witli noled aelors
impcrsonaling older stars and doing short interludes from famous plays
thai had been put on in the U.S. during Miss Hayes's half-cenlury reign.
Some of them are shown on the next page. .Mtogcther the line tragic
aetors, slapstick comedians and musical comedy queens made a living
history of .\merican theater. After watching the performance unfold like
pages in a memory book, happy Helen said, "1 would like to go into a
dark cave for a month just to relive it all. I'm so afraid it may get lost."
The most resplendent assemblage of stage notables in the history of
Broadway met two weeks ago to throw a party for the American theater's
most celebrated star, Helen Hayes. Honoring her 50 years as an actress,
the big party overflowed the ballroom of New York's Waldorf-Astoria.
Tickets were S-SO apiece and the 830,000 profit went to the American
Theater Wing to help support its school and public services. But in
everybody's mind it w as Helen's show, triumphantly, from its jazzy hymn
of homage at the start {iwloii-) to its surprising and sentimental finish.

for her camera and photographed her pet as Botsina, her
